Welcome to Gaia! ::

Louie clutched Adrian hand now. "What if he hates me? What if he doesn't understand?" he said sounding upset. "What if he does accept me...us." by us meaning him and the black swan.

Arrow chuckled and smiled. "Yeah, that does sound like him. But really you just need to train your body by stretching," he said. His stomach growled loudly and he blinked while his face flushed pink with embarrassment. "A-Ahhhh..... I guess I'm hungry.....Sorry......" he said. He rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Louie's squeezed Adrian's hand tighter. He was still worried although he thought it would only make the other angrier if he was holding Adrien's hand. He looked at Adrien. The kiss did make him feel better a little bit.

Adrian knocked on the door of the studio where Arrow had been practising. "Arrow? We have things to explain." he called through the door.

Bill looked at the door and then at Arrow, who was wiping the sweat off of himself.
"You should let them in and explain. The facts have been terribly complicated since you left and well.. what they have to tell is a really complicated thing, although I'd understand if you didn't want to listen."
He put a comforting hand on Arrow's shoulder.
"Shall I get the door?"

Grinning, Arrow laughed and took the towel. "It's not that. I was dancing so hard that I'm hungry again. Thanks for giving my towel," he said. He wiped the sweat from his neck. "Food sounds good and some water, coffee for you," he said. He yawned as well. "Maybe a nap too...." he said.

Arrow was wiping sweat off his face when there was a knock on the door. He paused when he heard the voices and a pang lanced his heart. He squeezed the towel. He bowed his head. "No....I don't know.....It's not fair......" he said, his voice cracking. He scrubbed his face, realizing he was about to cry.

Then he removed the towel from his face. His look was blank. "I'll listen, "he said. He looked down and away again. Then he turned and walked toward one of the windowns. He leaned against the window sill and looked out the window. As long as he didn't see Adrian he wouldn't cry. "Come in," he called.

Damien was sitting in the confrence room with a cup of soy milk. He sighed. As training went on he had realized his intrest in Niko wasn't just to make him a better dancer. He was falling for the boy and as he got to know him his feelings deepened. But Niko was in love with the Black Swan and Damien didn't know how to tell the teen how he felt. The boy seemed so happy. He wondered how all of the drama was affecting the small troupe member. We're all a troupe of love struck fools. Louie calls us his family does this make us a family full of incest? He shook his head and took a sip of his drink. What a thing to think....

Niko looked up when his name was mentioned, scanning the faces in the room before he looked down again and simply listened. The Black Swan was in love with him, that fact made him somewhat happy, but the way Louie worded his last sentence made it seem like the relationship he had with the prince's other half was just a way to keep disaster from striking, as if it was just to a tolerated way to keep everyone happy. Niko drew in a light breath "Aiya..." he murmured under his breath, running a hand through his silvery-white hair.

Niko practically fell into a stiff bow of apology when Louie spoke to him, having not meant to attract his attention with what seemed to be a rude comment from him "Gomenasai..." he murmured.
